THE woMAN's MEDICAL COLLEGE.
There is project under way to put up
new and larger building to replace the
cramped quarters of the Woman's Medi-
Cal College of the New York Infrmary, O
school that is sending out every year
small classes of some OF the most thor
oughly trained women physicians of the
country. The favor with which the
proposition is everywhere received is in
striking contrast 10 the difficulties under
which the same institution labOred at its
foundation some nineteen or twenty
years ago. DR.. Emily Blackwell, the
present Dean, was, with Elizabeth
Blackwell, now In England, the origina-
tor OF the school, and these two Black
we'll sisters, the first women physicians
that ever practiced in this country, have
watched the seed that they planted grow
until there are to-day IN the United
States some six or eight medical schools
for women, three or four of them giving a
training that rivals the best to be had by
men, while the woman doctor herself has
found her way to every city and her well
come in every town of any considerable
size In the land. New York has q hun.
dred or more w"men who are physicians
Ia good standing, and these with DR..
Mary Putnam Jacob, DR.. Mary Bissel,
DIR. Elizabeth Cushier, the first success.
full ovarlotomist among physicians of her
sex, DR.. Grace Peckham, who is making
a name ON the staff of the medical jour-
nails, and half dozen others at their
head, are likely to make good the credit
of the woman practitioner and to broaden
the place that is everywhere opening for
her services.
FEMININE MOB.
At the turning of narrow street ran
into feminine mob the other day. The
union girl and the scab were out in force
and the usual amenities were exchanged
between them. you'll git a clip wiz a
stun or handful o. mud in the face if We
don't git out O. here" disinterested by
stander explained as | hestated on the
threshold of the scene of activities. "The
girruls wInt on strike some days ago, an
part or 'em wouldn't go out when the
union ordered it. Do We see that big chap
over there, leanin' agin the lamppost, wiz
his hands in his pockets, jinglin' the Cir
ruls' wages an watchn' the funs That's
the delegate as ordered the strike, an
now he's lookin' on while they have it
Out VII the scabs. It's dinner hour, We
see, an the new hands don't git out an
back agin 'Chout lively tunes here some
days, | can tell ye;' and my Informant
laughed his appreciation as the babel of
tongues waXed louder. ''Organzed
labor" makes an enthusiastic convert of
a woman when IL takes any hold of her,
but her tooth and nail struggles when
hunger Expresses her are ludicrous,
perhaps, just because they are so pitiably
helpless when compared with the mans
force cOmpulsions OF her brothers in the
campaign.
L met lawyer who does much real
he complained with some bitterness OF
the small respect that woman shows for
her name. The fact that she changes it
at marriage seems to give 1t at any period
of life less permanent value In her eyes,
and he cited instances In which the same
Individual had affixed half a dozen
different signatures to half dozen deeds
of sale without taking steps to legalize
the change in any case. These vagaries
of his feminine clients had caused no
little confusion and distress, and he was
inclined to insist on the propriety of a
woman's retaining in every instance her
family name as q middle name after mar
riage, and signing that, preceded by her
given name and followed by her husbands
family name, to every paper of import
ance. Julia Dent Grant and Frances
Folsom Cleveland have what oounte-
nance woman to such practice.
